Video

Went to See him Christchurch N.Z. in the late 80's. Show started at 7:30. We were still gradually getting to the end of the Starting story around 11:30pm after so many hilarious tangents taken along the way. We ran out of tears from laughing so hard around 10pm. Absolutely the funniest show I have ever witnessed!!! Billy is my all time favorite Scotsman ever!

Discussing the plot twist of shuter island over sonic 3 music

tbh I don't get it

Best comedian ever , now it's Carl baron

I had not even heard of this guy before I stumbled on this page. But having watched a few clips, I would comment that I don't find him particularly funny. On the contrary, after a couple of minutes, I found his manic and disjointed style of delivery intensely annoying. I don't doubt he is popular with a lot of people, but that probably says more about the level of intellect of the audiences these days - probably heading in the direction of the demographics depicted in the film "Idiocracy" (Google it if you aren't familiar with the film or its premise).

first time ive commented on anything in a while, but thank you for this.

Not sure why your stuff doesn’t come up on my feeds

I cannot commend you enough for the quality of your videos, but you including my favorite joke of all time with Gary Gulman’s Civic was out of gas joke was absolutely elite. I play that bit on Spotify like it’s a song

I watched Guy's special because you put out a video about him - terrific recommendation! I fucking adore him now. I love the format of interviews between you and other comedians who are (in my mind, at least) a little more obscure, talking craft.

This interview could be on Radio NZ National.

What an incredible genius ❤❤❤

F*********** GOLD!!

"I'm not an alien"😆 Great editing! Thanks for this interview!

Would absolutely love to hear your analysis of the comedy podcast empire built by the McElroy Brothers

"ur making me think" no better compliment u can get from someone ur interviewing

Oh no way!

That first step-parenting joke absolutely creased me, thanks for introducing me to Guy, will check out a lot more!

This was fucking fantastic. "If it's something you're doing, it's something you can control" is exactly what I needed to hear this week

I feel like you two have the same smile. You look like two brothers having a chat

Love to see this, can't wait for more spelling bee ^^

The metaphysical concept of brevity has let itself go. This video could have been a 1 minute TikTok. You don't need to beat around the bush. Just give it to me straight like a pear cider that's made from a hundred percent pears.

This completely cracked the code (or picked the Sean Lock) for me. Some comedians always stick to the highway while others are off-roaders. Sean turned up looking like your buddy's dad giving you ride, but in this case you never knew when the journey was about to take a sharp turn and blaze an uncharted path through some thick woods. If a wild character comes on stage, then you expect the unexpected. No one was ever prepared for Sean. Not knowing if or when to expected the unexpected is a form of 4-dimensional chess that is scarier than when Mr. Jangles goes up the stairs.

Sorry everyone, he's just a prentious twat. That wasn't what Brecht had in mind at all. And all these hyperbole bollocks about being the best stand-up. Well, if you leave feeling sickened and unsettled, rather than having a cathartic belly laugh, then I am certain you've wasted your time, and money (which probably means fuck all to this entitled prick).

Lee is solid gold

wow, I really enjoyed this, thank you so much, I didnt think that deep about the special, I needed this, expanded my consciousness

And all the time i thought the point was to be funny and make people laugh. Clearly I got this wrong. We are supposed to dissect everything for meaning. Personally i don't want to have to think that hard about comedy. Its meant to be fun, an escape. Something is either funny or its not. If I'm sitting there analyzing it, then its not done its job

I enjoyed Patton Oswalt's "boom boom boom boom" being in sync with the Taskmaster OST in the background at 7:50, thank you :D

Dont think I didnt notice Bo Burnhams song in the background, if comedians did team ups on shows, id love to see acaster and burnham do a show together.

"... That's a challenging wank..." czcams.com/video/ZswWnbQl_P4/video.html

this video makes me want to have spaghetti

the bob mortimer section is just

Community AND Taskmaster. you have elite taste

Connely, Williams and Carlin were all a gift to the world. Nothing exists like them anymore.

yoo present tense

The soundguy is clinching his cheeks when Sean swings that mic

Youre close to genius mate

I can sum this program up by simply saying Lee thinks he’s funny, but he’s not !

That line about being your own unreliable narrator is powerful

New follower here. Excellent doc on the weaving layers of truth beneath the freedom created by personas that wield the mighty sword of unreliable narration and cut through all the bollox that so often gets i. The way of the real truths of what comedy can reveal. Humility in humour. Not preaching but personal yet completely fucking hilarious. What a great comic Acaster is and i can appreciate his style, his persona and him much more with this well crafted deep dive. Respect for the movie and Stewart lee compare and contrasts too. Carpet remanent world is a masterpiece. You get the shows you deserve sheffield!

He would write skits for specific people on the panel, ie the arse of the year, if it hadn't hit so well with Claudia, he would have abandoned it earlier.

Bo would have loved and appreciated Unus Annus… I stand by that. It gave me hope.

Boring

The clip at 19:01 is so perfect, he starts getting carried away but spares just a little glance at the others as if to say, "I didn't realise this was going to happen but it's happening now" before he carries on
